The FASTSUM collaboration has initiated a detailed study of thermal QCD using 2+1 flavours of improved Wilson quarks on anisotropic lattices. Spatial volumes of (3fm)^3 and (4fm)^3 are used at fixed cut-off with temperatures ranging from 40 to 350 MeV (corresponding to temporal lattice extents of 128 to 16 lattice units). Results presented here include the deconfinement temperature and a study of the restoration of chiral symmetry, together with a brief summary of our collaboration's other results from these ensembles.
